ITJ 2025 / 01
Dear readers,
What do the media and logistics industries have in common? Hardly anything, really – apart from trade journals that report on logistics, the supply chain and transport. The media industry is already a big step ahead on many of the topics that are still keeping the logistics industry on its toes these days. Intralogistics is the exception – automation has proceeded apace there.
Digitalisation, one of today’s central issues for logistics, began as early as the 1990s in the media. Professions such as typesetter soon disappeared; the person in charge of the page make-up lasted a little longer – but only until personal computers became socially acceptable. Job profiles in the logistics industry, in contrast, have remained more or less the same in the meantime.
The media industry has advanced in the field of sustainability too. A growing number of readers who primarily read publications online has reduced the consumption of paper and resources, a trend that’s further accelerating. Journalists are generalists today; they have to combine communication, design, social media, layout and much more in one person. AI supports them in this, another matter that increasingly affects logistics.
Logismedia takes these changes into account. 2025 will be a year of upheaval, with changes in 2026 also already in sight. Little will change for readers this year; many of the forthcoming short-term adjustments will take place in the background.
One highlight in 2025 will be the Transport Logistic trade fair and Air Cargo Europe conference, which will take place simultaneously from 2–6 June in Munich.
Logismedia will be present there, at booth 300 in hall A3, and as the host of a podium discussion at the conference, which will focus on 3D printing and its impact on transportation. I hope we’ll meet up there.
Here’s to your continued success in 2025, dear readers!
